Rohit Gurjar is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Tel Aviv University, working with Amir Shpilka.
His previous postdoc was at Aalen University (2015-16) with Thomas Thierauf.
Before that he was at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur for 10 long years for his B.Tech.-M.Tech. (2005-10) and
Ph.D. (2010-15).
He was very fortunate
to have Manindra Agrawal and Nitin Saxena as his
Ph.D. supervisors. His Ph.D. thesis was chosen for the ACM India Doctoral Dissertation Award, 2017.
He is in general interested in theoretical computer science, and in particular in computational complexity and derandomization.
Some problems on which he has worked
are polynomial identity testing, perfect matching, and matrix completion.
He likes hiking, cycling and listening to music.

Nitin Saxena received his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 2006. He was truly fortunate to have Manindra Agrawal for his supervisor. He also spent
stints
at Princeton University (2003-04) and
at the National University of Singapore (2004-05). He was a postdoc
at the Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica Amsterdam (2006-08) and a faculty
at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics Bonn (2008-13). Nitin's long-term interests are in
algebra-flavored computational complexity problems.
He has contributed to primality testing, polynomial identity testing, polynomial independence, polynomial factoring and polynomial equivalence problems. Some of these works have been awarded
the Gödel prize, Fulkerson prize, CCC best paper (2006),
and ICALP best paper (2011) awards.
He enjoys interacting with enthusiastic young
researchers.
In his spare (& non-spare) time he enjoys listening to music,
watching movies, reading non-fiction, swimming and travelling.
